Changing jobs

Changing jobs isn’t easy, however, Media Super reduces some of the hassle. Your Media Super account moves with you from job to job. It’s easy and there are no new membership applications.

How do I take my Media Super account to my new job?

Simply complete the Super Choice form and give it to your new employer. Your employer should then make contributions, on your behalf, directly to your Media Super account.

What if I become self-employed or start a contract or freelance job?

You can keep your account if you change to self-employed, freelance or contract employment.

If your employer is making contributions, simply provide them your completed Super Choice form. If you're making contributions for yourself, see How to contribute. 

For information specific to your situation, see Super for freelancers.  

Hints

  • Don’t lose track of your super.
  • If you are changing jobs, ensure that you keep your super in one account so you're not paying multiple fees.
  • Keep an eye on your insurance arrangements, and ensure that you have enough cover.
  • Consider establishing a salary sacrifice arrangement to boost your super.
